Lin Xiaoman just arrived at the city gate and saw several carriages coming out of the city.

At this time, the weather is no longer as hot as before, but it is not really cool either. The curtains of several carriages are tightly blocked, so you are really not afraid of the heat.

Lin Xiaoman took a few more glances, and then saw several familiar faces inside: Aren't these all from the county government?

Looking at the tightly covered carriage, Lin Xiaoman made a blind guess, maybe the county magistrate Lu Jin was sitting inside?

What are these people doing out of the city at this time? Are they going to catch the traitors secretly?

Just when she was fascinated, she opened the side curtain with one hand, revealing Lu Jin's delicate and beautiful face. Suddenly, Lin Xiao's face turned red.

Seeing him opening his mouth as if he had something to say, Lin Xiaoman immediately made a mouth gesture: Xu Yuanru!

Under Lu Jin's puzzled eyes, he threw in the cave structure diagram and personnel list sent by Xu Yuanru. Xu Yuanru's credit should be Xu Yuanru's, and she couldn't do that kind of thing to steal others' credit.

Lu Jinzheng was wondering why Lin Xiaoman mentioned Xu Yuanru, and was hit in the face by the paper thrown at him. When he came to his senses, he and Lin Xiaoman had already passed each other.

Picking up the paper that had just hit him in the face, Lu Jin couldn't help but laugh. When he opened it, his pupils trembled in shock.

Apart from the structural diagram of the cave, what shocked him the most was the list on another piece of paper. He was familiar with the names at the top, and the prefect of Wuzhou was among them.

There are still a few people inside who he has suspected for a long time, but most of them are very well hidden. Even with the list at this moment, he can't believe that these people will rebel, and they are well hidden.

Is this the structural diagram and personnel list sent by Xu Yuanru? Although he doesn't have much affection for that woman, he has to say that this structural diagram and list are extremely useful to him.

Looking at the big words "Xiao Man, help me" on it, Lu Jin thought: That's all, I'll rescue her if I can.

If it doesn't go smoothly... we can only leave it to fate.

After entering the city, Lin Xiaoman walked around Feng Ji. Hearing a series of apologies from shopkeeper Feng, he waved his hands and said, "It's not my fault that shopkeeper Feng can't find anyone. Maybe I shouldn't earn this money."

Shopkeeper Feng said to himself: You can make a lot of money from your snowflake cream. It doesn’t matter if you have less nourishing cream, but I can’t part with the money that I can get easily.

But there was nothing he could do if he couldn't find Xu Yuanru. He even doubted whether Lin Xiaoman and Xu Yuanru had avoided him and made private transactions.

However, shopkeeper Feng told Lin Xiaoman something, "Feng Ji from Wuzhou Prefecture received a big order a few days ago, ordering 50,000 boxes of clam oil. I was thinking about one day when you would come and tell you about it.

, the quantity is a bit large, can it be prepared before winter?"

"Why do you need so much at once?" Lin Xiaoman was surprised. It seemed that he would not keep this amount for himself, but if he bought it back and sold it, he would not make much profit after handling Feng Ji. Could it be that he wanted to sell it to a neighboring country?

Shopkeeper Feng shook his head, "Probably not. It's said to have been agreed upon by the prefect, so maybe it's going to be sent to the army for use by the soldiers. Wuzhou Prefecture is located in a bitterly cold place. In winter, the soldiers' hands and feet often suffer from frostbite, which hurts their weapons.

Can't lift it."

Lin Xiaoman thought of what he had said to Qingshu from Lu Jin before. There was something wrong with the Wuzhou prefect. Was the clam oil he ordered really for the officers and soldiers? Or was it for the rebels?

Lin Xiaoman absent-mindedly said a few words to Shopkeeper Feng and left in a hurry.

If she didn't know where the rebels were hiding in the past, but after seeing the structural diagram of the cave sent by Xu Yuanru, it was winding and winding inside, and it seemed that the mountain was opened up, so maybe the rebels were hiding inside.

Fifty thousand boxes of clam oil, even if each person gets five boxes, that's still 10,000 people. Lu Jin only transferred troops from a few counties this time, and the other party has a lot of weapons. Didn't they send food in the past?

And these people are probably just some of them.

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. When Lin Xiaoman rushed back, he drove the donkey so fast that it was afraid of being a step too late. When he returned to the village, he would see Lu Jin and others being killed by the rebels.

Unexpectedly, when they returned to the village, they did not see Lu Jin and others. Lin Xiaoman was suddenly surprised when he thought that they had changed into casual clothes and traveled low-key. They might have taken a detour elsewhere to go up the mountain.

There are too many roads to go up the mountain, and Lin Xiaoman doesn't know which road they will take, or even whether they will go from the mountain or from the bottom of the valley.

At this time, he couldn't ask anyone about the whereabouts of Lu Jin and others, which made Lin Xiaoman so anxious that he didn't know what to do.

When passing by Xu Qiuliang's house, Xu Qiuliang was drinking tea in the yard. Next to him sat Lin Erhu, who was holding a book and shaking his head.

Xu Qiuliang greeted, "Xiaoman, do you want to eat fish tonight?"

Lin Xiaoman seemed to have found his backbone. Xu Qiuliang was the person Lu Jin trusted. If you ask who knows Lu Jin best, it would be Xu Qiuliang.

Lin Xiaoman entered the courtyard and said, "Uncle, I have something to ask you."

Usually when Lin Erhu teased Xu Qiuliang, he was quite proud, but when Lin Xiaoman called him this, he suddenly became shy, "Yeah, you ask."

Lin Xiaoman said: "Your Excellency is in danger. I want to stop him, but I can't find anyone else. If I can't stop him in time, the lives of all of them may be in danger. What should I do if I am an uncle?"

Xu Qiuliang was stunned for a moment, "Are you telling the truth?"

Lin Xiaoman nodded vigorously, "Your Excellency has led a team into the mountain to exterminate the rebels, but I just discovered that the rebels may have a large number of people. If you cannot stop this action of your Excellency in time...Uncle, please think of a way."

Xu Qiuliang said nothing, turned around and entered the house. After a while, he took out a bamboo tube and looked carefully at the lead underneath.

Take out the fire stick and light the fuse, raise your hand and raise it in the air. When the fuse burns out, a sound breaks through the air, a line of smoke is drawn in the sky, and finally a flash of light explodes in the sky.

Xu Qiuliang said: "This is my communication firework. As long as it is lit, I will be in danger. I just don't know if he can understand it. But even if he can't understand it, I'm afraid he still has to alert the snake. As long as he has a brain, he will

I will never lead a team into the mountains again. After this incident, the rebels in the mountains will also be alarmed, and it will be more difficult to arrest them in the future."

Lin Xiaoman felt relieved. Looking forward to the future, he couldn't just watch Lu Jin and others die, right?

Lin Erhu had already put down his book, tilted his head and thought for a while, then turned around and ran home. Lin Xiaoman shouted from behind: "Where are you going?"

Lin Erhu didn't look back, "I want to set off fireworks."

Lin Xiaoman understood his intention almost instantly. The signal had to be sent. If the signal fireworks could be covered up with fireworks, would those people in the mountains lose their guard after seeing them?

Lin Xiaoman said next, "Uncle, bring my aunt to the house to watch the fireworks."

Although Xu Qiuliang didn't know what the fireworks they were talking about were, he also understood their intentions. It was just out of season, who would set off fireworks?
